If you want me to I can reopen the doc and you can edit collectively, or I could post the doc as in in view only and people could copy it and exise the things they don't like?

« Dans la plus habituelle des traditions du forum, ils se sont demandé s'ils pouvaient écrire un roman existentialiste dans la même veine que L'Étranger, La Nausée et En attendant Godot. Ici se mêlent et se bousculent la dépression la plus grande, la plus anxieuse des anxiétés, l’insignifiance la plus signifiante et le tabagisme le plus nauséabond. Ils se conjuguent dans un même procédé, dans une même fusion, et ce afin de produire la littérature la plus prétentieusement introspective possible [...]
« Sans Dieu, tout est permis. » Nulle part cela n'est plus vrai que dans cette entreprise. Ils ont écrit ce qu'ils voulaient, l'ont rempli de mèmes, de saloperies et de réflexions excrémentielles. Ils ont remplacé le Seigneur par un dieu de Merde et puis se sont mis à l'honorer. Finie l'infinité théonymique judéo-chrétienne : voici venu la sainte Merde qui les transcendera tous.

Le nouvel évangile que constitue ces écrits /lit/téens est une bénédiction pour celui qui sait voir. Ce n'est plus là œuvre de littérature commune, habituelle, accessible à un homme seul et réalisable par lui. Non, c’est la mise en place durable de clichés fugaces, la fixation dans l'éternité de la plus instante des brièvetés. Ces saintes Écritures capturent à elles seules l'essence d'un million d'hâtifs rêves fiévreux, fixent en un seul ouvrage l’âme de toute une communauté maladive et malsaine [...]
Vous savez que c'est la merde quand une recette de gâteau apparaît au milieu de votre roman. Que voulez-vous ? ils sont fidèles à leurs principes.
Le plus drôle dans tout ça, c'est que, d'une manière ou d'une autre, les gens ont bel et bien réussi à s'adapter à toutes ces divagations existentialistes et ont réussi à philosopher dans ce foutu bordel. C'est admirable. En vérité je vous le dis, c’est vraiment un putain de roman existentialiste [...]

Oh yeah, I forgot, you should really use "deepL", it's much better than google translate. It's not perfect, but hey, it's not like there's much choice..

For instance :
« « Sans Dieu, tout est permis. » Nulle part cela n'est plus vrai que dans cette entreprise. Ils ont écrit ce qu'ils voulaient, l'ont rempli de mèmes, de saloperies et de réflexions excrémentielles. Ils ont remplacé le Seigneur par un dieu de Merde et puis se sont mis à l'honorer. Finie l'infinité théonymique judéo-chrétienne : voici venu la sainte Merde qui les transcendera tous. »

=

'"Without God, everything is permitted." Nowhere is this more true than in this undertaking. They wrote what they wanted, filled it with memes, crap and excrements. They replaced the Lord with a god of shit and then they began to honor Him. The Jewish-Christian theonymic infinity is over: here comes the holy shit that will transcend them all.'

DO NOT DO PAGE-LEVEL FORMATTING UNTIL THE MARGINS AND PAGE SIZES ARE SET FOR PUBLICATION YOU MONGOLOIDS

ALSO, STOP USING A BUNCH OF NEWLINES TO FORM PAGE BREAKS

ctrl+enter creates a genuine page break.

to create chapter titles do:
> (blank line, unless at the beginning of a page)
> (ball)
> (blank line)
> (chapter title)
> (blank line)
Then select the chapter title and choose 'HEADING 1', and accordingly for chapter subsections etc.

Waiting For GF is a gem.

I don't understand how anyone can like Les Boche at all.

it is humiliating to philosophy those french charlatans with their enlightenment ideals and nihilisms and existentialisms pretending to be what they are not, which is philosophy.

French maybe half measures poet, but i doubt a race would endorse a blatant betrayal against their lords would have enough intellectual achievement to write philosophy. And extending their art in poetry and politics to philosophy is something that would be defined an affront to philosophy itself by Platonic definiton

A high schooler who had eavesdropped upon this catastrophe replied “But Nietzsche said that
God is dead!”
Plato and Socrates grinned devilishly before raping the boy to near-death in the town square.
The boy was changed, refined, and could not bear looking into the heart of light. The boy would
grow one day to become the most distinguished professor of Toronto’s psychology department.
Later in life, this boy, now a depleted old man, would exhume and publicly rape the skeleton of
Carl Jung in a misguided and disgusting imitation of the rebirth he had once received.

making the goodreads page now. Anyone know the isbn, and should be publisher be listed as Lulu?

>> No.10734705

>>10734449
There is no ISBN yet because there isn't one when you are only selling on Lulu I think. I am going to throw it on amazon in a week so we'll have one then but I'm waiting until I get my proof copy to make sure the formatting worked.
The publisher is "Not Gallimard"

I mean its not like most people know what /lit/ is, and it's not super-obstructive on the cover. The other books put that it was from /lit/ in the blurb which is worse in my opinion. But, if the consensus is that it's bad, I'll remove it from the second edition once I get my proof copy.
The Gallimard design is far better than the Penguin in my opinion
